In this issue, Jiang and colleagues employ multiple lineage-tracing approaches to elaborate on the role of Tff2+ transit-amplifying progenitor cells in the pancreatic acinar compartment of mice. This work provides insights into the steady-state homeostasis and tumor-suppressive features of certain progenitor cells and presents findings on acinar cell heterogeneity.
